The Cooking Club Party Cookbook: Six Friends Show You How to Plan, Prep, and Party

From the authors of The Cooking Club Cookbook comes a sassy new guide to entertaining that keeps the focus on the fun—not the formality.

The Cooking Club is back, and this time they want to party. The Cooking Club Party Cookbook offers a fresh batch of easy, delicious recipes, along with a year’s worth of themes, menus, and advice for keeping a cooking club going strong. Filled with the group’s cheeky banter, culinary success secrets, and party-planning tips, The Cooking Club Party Cookbook is an essential resource for anyone who wants to throw a great party—or just have a festive dinner with friends.

These six women love a good reason to stir things up—from major milestones such as weddings and new babies to events such as Chinese New Year and the Kentucky Derby. Chapters include “Tea for Two: A Proper Party for Our Mom-to-Be,” “Hawaii Five Below: We Warm Up with a Midwinter Luau,” and “Cheese Ball: Dipping into the Past for a ’70s Fondue Party.” Each menu makes up a full meal or an entire party spread. Recipes are in the appealing, easy-to-follow format that made The Cooking Club Cookbook such a success, and include dishes that range from the simple to the sophisticated, such as Mahi Mahi with Mango Salsa, Spinach and Goat Cheese Pizza, and Almond Croissant French Toast.

With the same chic design and beautiful photography as its predecessor, The Cooking Club Party Cookbook is a celebration you won’t want to miss.
